Summer's in full swing, and with the heat and humidity, we're seeing a few common issues pop up in local landscapes. Here’s what to look out for and how to keep your yard thriving:

Common Summer Landscape Issues
Lanternflies: These invasive insects cluster on trees and shrubs, leaving behind a sticky "honeydew" that attracts other pests and encourages mold. While they rarely kill healthy plants, they're a nuisance.

Aphids: Look for tiny green, black, or white insects in clusters on new growth or under leaves. They can cause curled or yellowing leaves and leave a sticky residue, that attracts other pests and encourages mold.

Crape Myrtle Bark Scale: These appear as small white or gray waxy bumps on crape myrtle trunks and branches. They can weaken the tree and lead to black sooty mold.
Wet, humid conditions are a breeding ground for lawn fungus.

Here’s what you might see and what helps:
Signs: Brown, yellow, or gray patches that spread; circular "fairy rings"; slimy or matted grass; or mushrooms and moldy spots.
Why it happens: Excess moisture and poor drainage create the perfect environment for fungus.

What helps:
Improve Drainage: For recurring wet spots, consider drainage solutions like French drains or grading adjustments to prevent water from pooling.

Water wisely: Water early in the morning so your lawn can dry out completely before nightfall. Lawns generally need about 1 inch of water per week, including rain.
Consider Fungicide: If fungal issues persist or are severe, applying a lawn fungicide can help manage the problem.

Beyond managing pests and fungus, these practices will help your whole yard thrive:

Shrub Pruning: Pruning shrubs to control growth and improve air circulation, which can reduce fungus risk on plants. Remove any dead or damaged stems for healthier growth.

Mulch Cultivation: Loosen or "fluff" compacted mulch so water and air can easily reach plant roots. If needed, add a light layer of new mulch to help retain moisture and block weeds.

Helpful Tip: Addressing these issues early and maintaining good cultural practices often prevents bigger problems. If you're unsure about anything you're seeing, Perfect Landscapes is always happy to take a look or offer guidance.

Had to modify this wall and column so the well contractor could get to the well and replace the pump. We removed part of the wall and column then shortened the wall and rebuilt the column. Re installed the dense and made a new gate. Then added a few plants. Good wood team. 💪🤙
